Historical NotesPart of a collection related to the Schofer family of Mt. Washington. Carl Schofer, who emigrated from Germany in the mid-1800s, was a highly skilled fresco artist. After buying a house on Mount Washington, he taught his son, Erwin, the business. When Carl died, Erwin inherited the family business. Due to the Great Depression and Erwin’s struggles with alcoholism he lost the business. During the Works Progress Administration (WPA) he was hired as the lead painting contractor for the county. Later in life he taught art at the Connelly Skill Learning Center. He died in 1955.
